The National Recovery Forum was held on the 26 August 2022 at the Adelaide Convention Centre, as part of the Australian Disaster Resilience Conference professional development program. The Forum hosted 228 attendees and received much positive feedback.
Throughout Australia we continue to see the impacts of disasters on different communities, individuals and families and we know the predictions for future disaster impacts. There is a broad call to build recovery capability in both the professional workforce and in our communities in early relief and recovery through to long term resilience.
The National Recovery Forum was conceived to bring people involved in disaster recovery together to develop connections and share knowledge, ideas, inspiration, and good practice for communities to recover well from disasters and build a resilient future.
The day was underpinned by principles for ‘being together’ which included: listening well, allowing space for all voices to be heard, bringing an open mind and heart, sharing wisdom, being aware of your impact on the group and taking responsibility for your needs.
